In addition to the linen suit that we showed you a few weeks ago, Master Agustín García Montero from Sastrería Serna has also realized an interesting reinterpretation of the Teba Jacket. The fabric is a cotton and linen blend from Scabal, highly recommended for the hot season both for its light weight and texture. If there was an ideal hierarchy of formality, this Spanish hunting jacket, whose origins we spoke about in a previous post, is midway between the informal jacket and the more relaxed blousons, hence it’s perfect both for casual and sportive occasions. Besides, its bright colour makes is advisable to wear it during the daytime.
Starting from the top, the jacket has no cran (the typical angle between collar and lapel of formal men’s jackets) and two decorative buttonholes on the top, instead of just one: this is a clear sign of the original buttoning from the top to the bottom. On the breast lies a well-rounded patch pocket and we have two big patch pockets with buttoned flap (Agustín told me that the original model did not feature any button on the flaps). The cuffs resemble those of a shirt and the side vents are very short, by virtue of the overall length of the jacket, conceived to be shorter than the classic ones, because of its sportive nature. However, I am struck by the perfect construction of the armhole, a camicia and with a hint of Neapolitan-flavoured folds on it. Not only it is high, but also wide and gentle while I move the arm.
Below are some photos of the fitting in Madrid, followed by the final product.
Bespoke hugs,
